What Marvel movies should you rewatch before ‘Avengers: Infinity War?’

We’ve put together a perfect Avengers: Infinity War rewatch plan for you, no matter what kind of fan you are.

With the MCU as we know it about to culminate in Avengers: Infinity War and next year’s Avengers 4, we bet you’ve thought about rewatching the Marvel movies, to prepare yourself. The problem with that endeavor is that the Marvel catalog has become so vast that it seems insurmountable, with only a few weeks left before Infinity War.

So, if you can only watch a small selection of the previous Marvel movies, which ones should you choose? Do you go for the ones that will be most relevant to the plot? Do you revisit your favorite characters? Do you simply choose the ones that made you laugh the hardest?

We’ve put together rewatch plans for seven different types of Marvel fans to help you decide. Check them out, and let us know which one you’ll be following, in the comments.

The plot driven Marvel fan

Since Infinity War centers around the Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet, the plot driven Marvel fan will want to focus on the movies that introduced the stones. We’ve seen five of the stones so far, so this rewatch will include the five movies that focused on them.
